The Lay Of the Land.
Ness CITY News.


The Meas has heretofore allowed the
discussion in the newspapers, relative to
the charges against Beard, the register of
the land Office at Wa-Keeney, to 90 I'M
noticed for the reason that we thought it
matter to be settled by those who knew
more about the subject than we did.
But when the democratic press all over the
district, and, noticeably the democratic
organ in our own town, shamefully pitches
into men whom they and all others in the
district know to be honorable men, it is
time to look into the reason for thus doing.
For instance the Sentinel of last week pub
fishes column article abusing both re-
publicans and democrats for daring to
make public thier opinion of a public Of
fcer, and sneeringly refers to the men who
made sworn affidavits as to the truth of
the charges against Beard, as the "un-
scrupulous county seat fighter" the ven
der of patent medicines" the town lot
boomer" etc. Now we could not think it
strange that paper that was started for
and is almost entirely supported by pap
dropped from this same office of register,
would jump astride of any republican who
dared intimate any silent partnership be-
tween the democratic press and the dis
penser of their bread and butter, but when
this paper pitches into men of its own pol
itical faith-men who stood for and defend
ed the principles of their party-if it has
any-even before the editors of the Senti-
mel ceased to wear diapers Gf they have)
their sordid love for the fee for publishing
land notices must certainly be so great as
to drown even the common decency due to
such men as John Martin. The "green-

A Change.

Mr. Logan has sold his interest in the
Trego County Republican to his partner,
Mr.. Shepard, and the latter has sold to j.
n. Barrett half interest in the paper.
Mr.. Logan will probably locate elsewhere
before long.
OF Mr.. Barrett, we feel like saying a
good word. He has been in our employ
for about two and half years. He is a
willing worker, and will do his part in max
ing the Republican paying institution.
To say that we wish him success is doing
an act which a sense of justice toward
him demands. We hope to always be
able to treat him with as much kindness
as we now feel in his behalf. OF Mr..
Shepard, we can say that his conduct, as
far as we have observed, has been that of
a gentleman.

HiIl's OuaiIs.

T. 2. Hill, Of Heilig & Hill, is in the
quail business. The manner OF his en-
gaging therein will bear relating. We
youch for the correctness of the narrative.
One day little while back Mr.. Hill was
riding over the prairie, when he saw
bunch of eggs in the grass. The eggs
bore traces of being somewhat aged. The
finder supposed the mother quail had
been killed. He picked up the eggs, and
brought them to his residence. There he
placed them on the mantel. They were
left there for about five days, just as the
ordinary run of pick-ups are likely to be
left '1ying around loose" The surprise
of the household can be better imagined
than described when it is stated that little
quails began to fall upon the floor. An
examination revealed that portion OF
the eggs had actually Matched themselves
we do not know a more appropriate
term to use-while on the mantel; and
that nearly all the balance were Matching.
When we saw the brood, Mr.. Hill had
them in a paper box. Nine live young
quails showed up. Three eggs were yet
unmatched. Our friend, Mr.. Cyrus Mon
roe, was with us. He was surprised, but
now stands ready to back the most ex-
travagant of these statements.
But,
As we were going to say, Mr.. Hills
description of how one of the little birds
emerged from its shell constitutes in
itself a chapter. 1t pecked- just keep on
saying pecked until you see in the egg
shell hole as large and as round as
dime. The little worker seemed to be
standing within the shell, dealing sledge-
hammer blows with all the accuracy char
acterizing the results of the veritable
newer of wood who hits the line, regard
less of where the chips fall.
Mr.. Hill intends to try to raise the
brood. He may. We think not.

eyed Republicans are not the only ones
making the charges, as the democratic
press continually howl, but democrats
of the Werlich stamp men who say they
are Democrats but who are honest enough
to condemn wrong in their own party
whenever it may show itself, have made
affidavits to what they know to be the
truth. The republican party has exposed
and punished the wrong-doer in Office if
found guilty after fair trial; and its rec
ord in this respect has earned the respect
of every good man, and if these bantling
guardians of Democracy had half the prop
er respect for their party they would not
defame good men for the sake of defend
ing ones who may be guilty of the charges
preferred, solely for the purpose of filling
their sheet with land notices at four dol
lars piece, gross. st. John was full of
democracy in 1884 because there was
money in it, and to-day the Wa-Keeney
land district is full of so-called democrat
ic editors of so-called newspapers for the
same reason. And they are ready to de-
fame any person who "dare do all that
may become man. for the sake of their
four-dollar principles.

Miss G.. z. Stickney

Comes forward this week with her ac-
ceptance of the call to become candidate
for register of deeds. To those who
know her, it is unnecessary for us to
assert that Miss Stickney is qualified for
this position. Her qualife atoms for this
position. we will say for the benefit OF
those who do not know her, are OF very
high order.

We neglected, in our comprehensive
batch of home news last week, to say that
Rev. Mr.. Stayt, Mrs. Stayt and their
son Willie had spent the then last Sun
day in Wa-Keeney. They came in day
or two before, and remained here or out
at the ranch until the following Wednes-
day. Mrs. Stayt was treated to new hat
by Mrs. w. T. Hunter. 1t was one of the
incest articles of the kind which we ever
saw. To say that Mrs. Stayt was de-
lighted with the present no more than ex-
presses her feelings. Mrs. w. s. Harri-
son also presented to Mrs. Stayt pair of
nice gloves and other useful articles,
which were appreciated fully. Mrs. Stayt
is of the class of women who appreciate a
gift as such even more than for its intrin-
sic value.

Mr.. ]. S. Wolf and family took Mon
day evenings Cannon Ball train for
Washington Territory. Tacoma was their
objective point. We regret the departure
of these people. By the practice of
economy, they had borne the brunt of the
contest incident to the settlement of this
county, and had come out victors. To
"get clear around" he walked up to our
residence after dark, made us handsome
payment, and ordered the paper sent
to him in his far western location. We
fear there are many subscribers who
would not thus have Inconvenience
themselves to pay the publisher his dues.
When we find such a man, our memory
always reaches out after him, hoping for
his success.

Moan WEBSTER, LII. D.-There

has not consulted Webster's Die
tionary thousand times. It is the
best dictionary in the English Ian
guage. But who was Noah Web

DR.. Websterwa born October 16,
1858, near Hartford, Conn. He
spent his early years on the farm of
his father, and became member of
Yale College in 1774. lie served
III the Revolutionary War for a
short time. Having finished his
education at the age of twenty, his
father put into bis hand an eight
dollars Continental bill, then worth
about four dollars, saying, "1ou
must now seek your living, ! can
do no more for you@'' lie COM
menced school teaching, and while
thus engaged made the draft Of his
Spelling Book. This led to the
preparation Of his Dictinary. He
vas forty-eight years old when he
began It, and sixty-eight when he
finished It IN 1926. There were be-
tween seventy and eighty thousand
words Ia the Dictionary d he had
thus completed It. There are nov
one hundred and fourteen thousand.
Il died IL 1913. It Is doubtful
whether any man ever rendered
greater service to his countrymen
Than Noah Webster, and generations

combine with it an article setting
forth the advantages ofW estminster,
so that it will be an advertisement
of the place as well as directory.
TIE CAPITAL has called attention
to a similar enterprise in this city
and county, with suggestions to our
board of county commissioners as to
how to do it with slight expense and
large profit but they have failed to
take hold of the matter. Our time
is wholly engrossed i'll the Rnblica-
ton of our little daily and we can
not enter into such an enterprise
ourself. We would be pleased, how
ever, to make gements with
some one of leisure and qualified for
the task, to get up well arranged
and handsomely printed pamphlet
containing an alphabetical list OF
heads Of families, streets on which
they live and the number Of their
residences together with list of
husiness houses. streets and num-
Der, to include a descriptive article
of Annapolis, its location, adyan-
tages. business interests, improve
ments, banks. churches, secret So
cieties, and such other matter as
may be deemed of interest or inn
portant.
Such work at this time, when
our city is being reached by several
new railroads and brought within
a short distance of Baltimore and
Washington, would he OF great adj
vantage to our public, and add
largely to our business prosperity
and greatly enhance the value Of
our real estate.
The cost of publication would not
be large. and the proper material is
accessible to any one of leisure and
ability, who could realize a hand
some return for his labor by its
publication and sale.
